A heartfelt message from a Singaporean
I am a Singaporean male who has served my national service. I have lived most
of my life in the various heartlands across Singapore, having moved quite a few
times. I have also been around the world and so I know that I’m not a frog in a
well.
When I was growing up, I kind of admired the PAP government. At that time,
Singapore was way ahead of many other countries. We had our leader Lee Kuan Yew
to thank for his visionary leadership.
...neither here nor there...
I think that things started going south when Mr Lee Hsien Loong took over. In
my personal opinion, he tried to be different and special, but he really was
just a chip off the old block. He was really neither here nor there. In order to
be a successful leader, one must have strong beliefs in what is the right
direction and lead everyone towards a common goal. I feel that Mr Lee Hsien
Loong is the leader who undid all the good done before he assumed office.
As a Singaporean, my requests are actually pretty simple. All I want is a
proper, functioning, affordable and quick public transportation system. I don’t
want unpredictable trains which can break down at any time. I don’t want one day
of free travel and one year of fare hikes thereafter. I don’t want a government
that gives me an egg and takes back a chicken.
I am sick and tired of living in a country overcrowded with foreigners. You
can tell me that foreigners are needed to build infrastructure and to do jobs
that Singaporeans don’t want to do. But I think that there is a real oversupply
of foreigners, and that the government has missed the whole point. Singapore is
for Singaporeans, and that’s something our ex president Mr Ong Teng Cheong knew
very well.
The way I see it, this is not just a watershed election. This is a tsunami
election. It’s time for the waters to come and wash away all the vermin and all
the mistakes and sins that they have committed. For me, even if a fresh
university graduate contests for the election, I would vote for him over any of
the PAP candidates. Because I know that the young guy has open ears and a
teachable heart, rather than thinking he knows it all and can make decisions on
behalf of other people without even making an effort to consult them first.
Think about the problems facing our country today. Young Singaporeans finding
it hard to make Singapore their home due to the high cost of living. Unreliable
public transport. High COE prices. University places being given to foreigners,
resulting in Singaporeans having to study overseas or in expensive private
schools.
I say that if Singaporeans continue to tolerate all of this injustice, then
they must be extremely daft. They are like frogs in a pot of water that is
slowly heating up. Slowly but surely, the water is getting hotter but they do
not realise it. They continue to tolerate it until it’s too late. Now is the
chance to jump out of the pot of water, so to speak. But not to flee the
country, but to jump out of PAP’S cauldron of pepper, spices and everything
lies.
I could go on and on about the PAP. But there’s no point in me doing that. I
leave you to form your own conclusions. Do you think that it’s right for a party
to twist and turn it’s words? To sweet talk you when it comes to elections and
pull out the cane to tekan you after it gets what it wants? Do you think it’s
right for a party to behave in such a bipolar manner, wrecking the good spirits
and national pride which was built up over many years? Is it right for them to
put themselves first and foremost, and making themselves the centre of
everything? They are behaving like the Chinese imperialists who think that they
are the son of heaven and that everything revolves around them.
This coming elections, I implore all of your Singaporeans to search deep
within your heart and your conscience. Is this the kind of people we want ruling
over us and making decisions on our behalf? Do you feel safe letting your
children’s future be jeopardised by people motivated by greed and selfish
ambition?
Vote wisely.
